Referral revenue, position an available freelancer in 5 minutes

A client asks for a profile you're not, or that you can't take on right now. Instead of replying "sorry, not available", you can position another freelancer from your network, genuinely available, genuinely skilled, with the right day rate. Here's how Traject turns your address book into a referral revenue lever, without spending the day on it.

See your freelance network at a glance

The Network module aggregates your LinkedIn connections, imported contacts and freelancers you've already worked with. Each profile shows role, target day rate, current mission, end date and seniority level.

Filter to surface available profiles

Activate the filters: availability (immediate, within 30 days, within 60 days), role (data engineer, product designer, etc.), day rate (range), location, work mode (remote, hybrid, on site), current mission end date. The list narrows down to profiles relevant for the client's need.

Prepare the recommendation

Pick 1 to 3 profiles, Traject generates a short pitch per freelancer (key skills, recent missions, day rate, availability) that you can adjust before sending. You stay in control of what you forward.

Intro and track the referral

Send the intro to the client, notify the freelancer, and Traject logs the referral. You follow the status (introduced, interviewing, signed) and, if you have a referral agreement, the expected commission.

Expected outcome

You turn "sorry, not available" into real value, your client is served by a freelancer you've vetted, your relationship with that freelancer is reinforced, and you generate referral income without eating into your billable time. Over a quarter, this often adds up to the equivalent of an extra week at your day rate, with no delivery on your side.
